Today’s Main Event final table action kicked off with Chase Cokaliong leading the charge, stacking a massive 104 big blind stack over the remaining nine. With 60 minutes on the clock, the first casualty of the day was seen as early as the second level with the most decorated player in the scene, Mike Takayama falling in 9th place. An hour later, Kenrick Lim followed suit, having lost a flip to Conrad Lumaban for his tournament life. Short stacks Alex Lai and Martin B likewise found their Main Event journeys come to an end just a couple hands later, exiting in 6th and 7th place respectively.

Five handed play lasted fairly long as chip counts began to even out which left Joel Diaz at the bottom of the ranks to eventually succumb in 5th place. Chris Boys, who was seen dabbling in several pots, consistently sat atop the list up until he suffered a massive hit by the hands of Junnie Pamplona to shoot down. Looking to recover, Boys instead locked up a 4th place finish after losing a final race to Cokaliong

Following Boys’s exit, a deal was struck in which Cokaliong takes with him the Main Event victory, 24K gold plated Chase Cup trophy whilst leaving the remaining payouts to be split evenly three ways. The final three finishers each collected PH₱ 1,140,183 (~USD 19,930) in prizes with Pamplona and Lumaban sharing the Rolex Submariner timepiece in consolation.
